MD Osprey:
Today (June 22, 2004), a Pine Siskin visited our feeders, here at
Davidsonviile, MD (Anne Arundel County) in the coastal plain. Strangely, it
was also nine years ago (July 3, 1995) when we also had a summer feeder
visit by a Pine Siskin [Maryland Birdlife 51(4):150].
In past years (but so much recently) we have traditionally had good siskin
numbers here in the winter, even when others were not seeing these birds.
This is not a records committee "reviewable" sighting, but we will forward
a report and photos to the Maryland Birdlife and North American Birds
season report editors.
This should make an interesting Atlas footnote ...
Keep your eyes open!
